Pavane 02:03
lyrics
Belle qui tiens ma vie Captive dans tes yeux, Qui m'as l’âme ravie D'un sourire gracieux, Viens tôt me secourir Ou me faudra mourir. Pour quoi fuis tu mignarde Si je suis près de toy, Quand tes yeux je regarde Je me perds dedans moy, Car tes perfections Changent mes actions. Approche donc ma belle, Approche, toi mon bien, Ne me sois plus rebelle Puis que mon cœur est tien. Pour mon mal appaiser, Donne-moi un baiser. =================================== Beautiful one, you who holds my life captive in your eyes, Who gladdens my soul with a smile, Come soon, rescue me, or I shall die. Why do you flee, dainty one, if I am near you? When I see your eyes, I lose myself in your gaze, For your perfection changes my very being. Approach therefore, my beauty, come, my wellbeing. Don’t reject me, because my heart is yours. To relieve my pain, give me a kiss!

Le Content est Riche 02:01
lyrics
Le content est riche en ce monde, Et bien heureux en ce temps cy, A coeur joyeux liberte monde, Vivre tousious hors de soucy. Estre amoureux non pas transsy, a tous deux clorre les yeulx. Tousious gaillars faitez ainsi, Et vous viurez cent ans de mieux. =================================== The contented is rich in this world and happy in this time. With merry heart, free and pure, he lives at home without concern. Be in love but not lovesick. And to all mourning close your eyes. Always, fellows, do so and you will live a hundred years and more.

Comme la Rose 01:37
lyrics
Comme la rose se perd en peu d'espace, Ainsi le teint e la beauté mondaine, en peu de temps se consom et se passe, Et n'a pour vray quúne durée soubdaine, Or donc n'a mye en beauté tant humaine, De ta beauté et grace naturelle, Prenons plaisir et lliesse certaine, avant le temps qu'un tel bien nous deface. =================================== As the rose must fade and cannot last, So the youthful bloom upon your skin, Your comely face, your springtime, will be past, Too soon, the swift years’ ravages begin. And so, my love, let all your human charms Go not to waste, but let us them enjoy: Pleasure beckons, take me in your arms Before relentless time can all destroy.

Mille Regretz 01:44
lyrics
Mille regrets de vous abandonner, Et d'es longer votre face amoureuse. J'ai si grand deuil et peine douloureuse, Qu'on me verra bre mes jours définer, =================================== A thousand regrets at deserting you and leaving behind your loving face, I feel so much sadness and such painful distress, that it seems to me my days will soon dwindle away.

Je n'ay Point plus d'Affection 01:36
lyrics
Je n'ai point plus d'affections qu ce quíl me plaît d'en avoir, Et si ne porte passion s'il ne me plaît la recevoir. J'ai gagné sur moi tel pouvoir, tel crédit et autorité, que je commande à mon vouloir, rien n'y peut la fragilité. =================================== I have no more care for the things That used to please me. And that which does not have passion Does not please me. For I have gained such credit and authority That by my willpower I am no longer fragile.

Je ne fus Jamais si Aise 01:47
lyrics
Je ne fus jamais si aise, Que j'ai été de puis trois jours, J'ai dansé tout à mon aise, Au son des fifres et tambours. Ah! Mon ami, et la la la, que j'étais aise, De danser ainsi tous ces jours, Et la la la la, que j'étais aise, De danser ainsi tous ces jours, Au son des fifres et tambours! =================================== I never have enjoyed myself so much before as in these past three days: I have danced the time away to the sound of fifes and drums. Ah my friend, la la la, what a time I have had, la la la, and la la, what a time I have had, dancing, dancing all these days to the sound of fifes and drums.

Au verd boys je m'en iray, Je m'en iray seulle, Au verd boys je m'en iray jouer. A mon amy j'ay donné là une heure pour nous voir, En parle qui voudra parler.

I see myself in the green wood, I see her under the green leaves - Maulgré who is longing for a sweet kiss.

En Entrant en ung Jardin 01:26
lyrics
En entrant en ung jardin j'ai trouve Guillot Martin avec Helaine, Qui demandoit au Matin son picotin, Son beau petit picotin non pas d'avaine. A donc Guillot luy a dit, vous aurez bien ce credit, Quand je seray en alaine mais n'en prenes qu'ung petit, Car par trop grant appetit, vient souvent la pance plaine. =================================== When I entered a garden I found Willam Martin Together with Helen, Who wanted some seeds, His beautiful little seeds (and not the kind you eat). Then William said to her: “You will get what you are entitled to, when I get my breath back. But don’t take so much, because too big an appetite often leads to a “full belly”!”

Je ne l'ose Dire 01:30
lyrics
La, la, la...Je ne l'ose dire, La, la, la... Je ne l'ose dirai. Il est un homme en no ville, Qui de sa femme et jaloux. Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause, Mais il est cocu du tout. La, la, la... Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause, Mais il est cocu du tout. Il l'apprête, et si'l la mène au marché. S'en va à tout. La, la, la... Enfin, las de ce supplice Le pauvre homme se pendit Mais sa femme par malice. Chez Lucifer le suivi La, la, la... La morale de cette histoire, C'est qu'avant de se marier Il faut savoir le jour même Que c'est pour l'éternité La, la, la... =================================== La, la, la, do not dare I say it, La, la, la, I will tell you now! There is a man of the village who is jealous of his wife; he is not jealous for nothing, because he is cuckolded completely. He is not jealous for nothing, because he is cuckolded completely. He knows when he goes to the market, That she goes to all. In the end, after this ordeal, This poor man hung himself, But his wife in her malice, Followed him to Lucifer. The moral of this story, is that before you marry, You have to know that on that day, That is for eternity

Il est Bel et Bon 02:22
lyrics
Il est bel est bon commère mon mari. Il était deux femmes toutes du pays, disant l'une à l'autre: avez bon mari. Il est bel est bon commère mon mari. Il ne me courrouce, ne me bat aussi, Il fait le ménage, et je prends mon plaisir. Commère, est-ce pour rire, quand la poulaille crie: Petite coquette, qu'est ceci? Il est bel est bon commère mon mari. =================================== He is handsome and fine, my husband is! There were two gossiping women in the village, Saying one to the other: “Do you have a good husband?” He doesn’t scold me, or beat me either. He does the chores, He feeds the chickens And I take my pleasure. Really you have to laugh to hear the cries of the chicks and hens: Co, co, co, co, dae, little flirt, what’s this?

Je ne Menge Point de Porc 01:59
lyrics
Je ne mengé point de porc, Le porc a condition, Telle que je vous vois dire, S'il a mengé cent estrons, Il ne s'en fera que rire. Il le tourne, il le vire, il leur et puis le mort. Je ne mengé point de porc. Le porc s'en allait jouant tout au long dúne ne rivière. Il veigt ung estron nouant. Il lui print a fère chère, disant en ceste manère: "Estron nouant en ri vière, rend toy ou tu es mort." Je ne mengé point de porc. =================================== I do not eat pork at all. Of the pig I’ll speak some words: He does things that make me prickle. He could eat a hundred turds; All he does is slurp and giggle. First he flips them, makes them jiggle, Laughs and chomps them, great and small. I do not eat pork at all. Once the pig, when boredom stirred, Went to play along the river, Where he saw a floating turd. Grabbing what the waves delivered, He said with a greedy quiver, “Turd that’s floating in the river, Now surrender you or fall!” I do not eat pork at all.

O Vin et Vigne 01:37
lyrics
O vin en vigne, gentil joli vin en vigne, Vignon, vigna, Vingne sur vingne. Et gentil joli vin en vigne. O vin en grappe, gentil joli vin en grappe, Grappin, Grappa, Grappe sur grappe, Et gentil joli vin en grappe. =================================== Oh wine on the vine, Sweet pretty wine on the vine! That flowing and sweet wine on the vine, Oh, wine in a cluster, Sweet wine in a cluster, That flowing and sweet, sweet wine in a bunch.

Tourdion 02:32
lyrics
Quand je bois du vin clairet, Ami tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne, Aussie desormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois, (Buvons bien, buvons me amis, trinquons, buvons, gaiement chantons) Chantons et buvons, À ce flacon faisons la guerre, Chantons et buvons, mes amis, buvons donc! (En mangeant d'un gras jambon, À ce flacon faisons la guerre!) =================================== When a drink a claret wine, Everything turns about me, So from now on I will drink Anjou or Arbois (Drink well, drink my friends, a toast, drink and gaily sing) Sing and drink, We'll make war on this flagon, Sing and drink, my friends drink well!
